This collection of classic stories celebrates the relationship between child and treasured toy. This anthology includes tales of Rag Bag, by Ruth Ainsworth; the doll which saved Vasilissa from the fearsome witch Baba Yaga, as retold by Naomi Lewis; the adventures of Hans Anderson's Steadfast Tin Soldier; and the enchanted rocking horse Rollande, as told in the title story by Laurence Housman. There's also an excerpt of The Memoirs of a London Doll by Mrs. Fairstar (Richard Henry 'Hengrist' Horne) and the story The Town in the Library by E. 'Edith' Nesbit. The stories in this anthology were originally collected in "The Silent Playmate: A Collection of Doll Stories" edited by Naomi Lewis. This book adds many paintings by Angela Barrett.
